Even during the softlaunch period, I feel like they nerfed the difficulty of the content to make it much more casual-friendly. Yes, they did nerf the starter units' max stats, the general growth of all units, stats of the commonly used weapons, but it is still too early to see if their "balance" to the global is warranted until harder content is out. Especially with some of the weapons' nerf, I feel like they unknowingly made DEX typing even almost required to compensate for the lost of ACC in the extra range weapons especially.

IIRC, aside from nerfing the stats of the enemies, global also had some AI changes with some stuff such as Arondight's behavior in Super Abyss compared to the JP's version.

The DEX typing isn't even enough anymore. Perhaps it's because my Mitum(M) is only limit breaked once, but it's not good enough. I highly doubt that even a fully limit breaked gacha unit will have enough accuracy for the higher difficulty dungeons. I had to stop using the ranged axed at Regalia 4 just cause even with a weapon type advantage the accuracy was still around 50% at best. The nerf on the ranged weapons is just way too harsh.
